JacquelineM drank Earl Grey Classic by Fortnum & Mason

Enjoying my Second Favorite Breakfast in the Whole Wide World: this Earl and a multigrain bagel with cream cheese. The hearty bread and creamy cheese play so nicely off the citrus-y good tea. Also, as I’ve said a zillion times before – this tea has magic properties and puts me in a fantastic mood. :) :) :)

Hope your finals went well!

JacquelineM 2011-12-14 12:40:02 -0500

I hope so! It felt pretty good. I keep checking my email because my professor usually emails us when he’s done grading but no message yet (scream)!!

gmathis! He posted grades! I got a 99.05% average for the semester and an A in the class!

Congratulations!!!!! And in regard to tea: just found out my order of this from Williams-Sonoma was backordered, again, until OCTOBER 2012! I canceled the order :(

Rabs – whaaaaaat? That’s super crazy (and makes me mad that I didn’t pick up the F&M breakfast tea!).

Hmmm, I better look for this tomorrow when I go to the city. I will be in Williams Sonoma. Last time I went they had several FM teas.

Rabs 2011-12-20 12:27:26 -0500

It just may be for the internet orders. Now that I live closer to a big city I should really see if there’s a W-S nearby and check their in-store stock.

@Rabs – the store in Durham has four tins but they won’t take credit card info over the phone. I was going to have it shipped here. My son will be back there in a couple of weeks so if they have any left I may buy it.

Bio

I love to cook, bake, read, paint, knit, do needlework, and garden. I need my coffee, but I LOVE my tea. I work at an Art School, and I am currently taking classes in order to become certified to teach.

I enjoy writing tasting notes, but have decided not to numerically rate teas as of 9/14/10. For an explanation, see my looooong tasting note about Mountain Malt from the Simple Leaf.

My favorites:
Chinese black teas
A good “milk and sugar” English style black
Earl Grey (classic, and in all variations!)
Vanilla teas (classic, and in all variations!)
Jasmine, Rose, Violet and other froofy, flowery teas!
An Occasional Oolong
Flavored Rooibos
Herbal Tisanes
